Exodus 5
1 After this Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says, ‘Let my people go so they can hold a religious festival for me in the desert.’”
И по сих вниде Моисей и Аарон к фараону и реша ему: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: отпусти люди Моя, да праздник сотворят Мне в пустыни.
2 “Who is this ‘Lord’ that I should listen to his request to let Israel go?” Pharaoh replied. “I don't know the Lord and I certainly won't let Israel leave!”
Рече же фараон: кто есть, Егоже послушаю гласа, яко отпустити имам сыны Израилевы? Не вем Господа, и Израиля не отпущу.
3 “The God of the Hebrews came to us,” they added. “Please allow us to go a three days journey into the desert and offer sacrifices to the Lord our God. Otherwise he'll kill us by disease or by the sword.”
И глаголют ему: Бог Еврейский призва нас: пойдем убо путем трех дний в пустыню, да пожрем Господу Богу нашему, да не когда случится нам смерть или убийство.
4 “Moses and Aaron, why are you trying to take people away from their assigned labor?” Pharaoh asked. “Get back to work!” he ordered.
И рече им царь Египетский: вскую, Моисей и Аарон, развращаете люди моя от дел их? Идите кийждо вас на дела своя.
5 “Look here,” he went on. “There are many of your people here in our country and you are preventing them from doing their assigned labor.”
И рече фараон: се, ныне умножишася людие сии на земли: убо не дадим почити им от дел.
6 That very day he ordered the slave drivers and those in charge of the people:
Заповеда же фараон приставником дел людских и книгочиям, глаголя:
7 “Don't give them any more straw to make bricks like before. Have them go and collect the straw themselves.
не ктому приложите даяти плев людем к плинфоделанию, якоже вчера и третияго дне: но сами да идут и собирают плевы себе:
8 But still make them produce the same quantity of bricks as before. They're lazy people—that's why they're calling out, asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to our god.
и урок плинфоделания, еже они творят, на кийждо день наложите им: не уемлите ничтоже: праздни бо суть: сего ради возопиша, глаголюще: да пойдем, и пожрем Богу нашему:
9 Make their work harder so they can get on with it and not pay any attention to all these lies!”
да отягчатся дела людий сих, и да пекутся о них, и не помыслят о словесех суетных.
10 So the slave drivers and those in charge went out and told the people, “This is what Pharaoh has ordered: ‘I won't give you any more straw.
Понуждаху же их приставницы и книгочия и глаголаху людем, рекуще: сия глаголет фараон: не ктому даю вам плев:
11 Go and get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, because your work quota won't be reduced.”
сами вы шедше собирайте себе плевы, идеже аще обрящете: ибо не будет уято от урока вашего ничтоже.
12 So the people went all over Egypt collecting stubble for straw.
И разыдошася людие по всей земли Египетстей собирати тростие на плевы.
13 The slave drivers kept on forcing them, saying, “You still have to do the same work as you did when you had straw provided!”
Приставницы же понуждаху их, глаголюще: совершайте дела ваша урочная на всяк день, якоже и егда плевы даяхом вам.
14 They beat the Israelite supervisors they had put in charge, shouting at them, “Why haven't you met your quota of bricks as you did before?”
И биени быша книгочия рода сынов Израилевых, иже быша приставлени над ними от приставников фараоновых, глаголюще: почто не совершисте урока вашего плинфеннаго, якоже вчера и третияго дне, такожде и днесь?
15 The Israelite supervisors went to Pharaoh to complain, saying, “Why are you treating us your servants like this?
Вшедше же книгочия сынов Израилевых, возопиша к фараону, глаголюще: почто ты тако твориши рабом твоим?
16 You don't give us any straw but your slave drivers demand that we make bricks, and they beat us! Your people are treating us badly!”
Плев не дают рабом твоим, и плинфы нам глаголют творити: и се, раби твои мучими суть: обидиши убо людий твоих.
17 “No, you're just lazy, lazy people!” Pharaoh replied. “That's why you keep on asking, ‘Please let us go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.’
И рече им: праздни, праздни есте: сего ради глаголете: да идем, пожрем Богу нашему:
18 Now get out of here and go back to work! You won't be given any straw but you'll still have to produce the full quota of bricks!”
ныне убо шедше делайте плев бо не дам вам, урок же делания плинфеннаго да отдаете.
19 The Israelite supervisors realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce the daily production of bricks.”
Видяху же книгочии сынов Израилевых себе во злых, глаголюще: не оставите плинфоделания урочнаго дню.
20 They went over to Moses and Aaron who were waiting for them after their meeting with Pharaoh,
Сретоша же Моисеа и Аарона, идущих во сретение им, исходящым им от фараона,
21 and said, “May the Lord see what you have done and judge you accordingly! You have made us like a bad smell to Pharaoh and his officials. You have put a sword in their hands to kill us!”
и реша им: да видит Бог и судит вам, яко огнусисте дух ваш пред фараоном и пред рабы его, дати мечь в руки его убити нас.
22 Moses went back to the Lord and complained, “Why have you caused all this trouble for your own people, Lord? Was this why you sent me?
Возвратися же Моисей ко Господу и рече: молютися, Господи, почто озлобил еси люди сия? И вскую послал еси мя?
23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak for you, he has been even harder on your people, and you haven't done anything to save them!”
И отнележе внидох к фараону, глаголати Твоим именем, (он) озлоби люди сия, и не избавил еси людий Твоих.
